Mexico, Sirit enhance security and public safety

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Sirit, along with Axiompas, have successfully installed and integrated the first Electronic Vehicle Registration system in Latin America.

Sirit’s IDentity 5100 and lane controller technology read the National Public Vehicle Registry tags, while cameras capture an image of the license plate. The data is then transmitted to a central database which matches the data to vehicles of interest, enabling enforcement agencies to recognize identified vehicles on a watch list and take appropriate action.

The EVR system represents a continuation of the initiative by the Mexican government to enhance security and safety on roads across the country. This follows the initial inauguration by Mexican President Felipe Calderon back in June 2009. To date, forty-two lanes have been installed by Axiompass and are fully operational. [end]
